No it's not - it's been there for years - it's just that it's been
labelled as testing :)

Sometime tomorrow [Sunday 8 April]. Release preparations are happening
NOW. Throw a release party in celebration :)
How unstable is it? - for me, it's not. I've been running it for
longer than a year. I've put it on machines at work: I use it here on
four machines.
For you - it may be different and, as always, your mileage may vary.
For specialist applications e.g. embedded processors/specialist appliances,
there may yet be something missing / a "we would have liked to have had
this in Etch to support our forthcoming product Foo" - we can't cover
all possible corner cases where someone needed a feature included which,
for one reason or another, we haven't been able to include in this release.
We can't test absolutely everything all the time - but we strive to be
bug-free.
Hope this helps,
Andy
